    Peterson is the mandatory challenger for the WBA and Khan just might drop his silver belt because he would never survive that right hand Garcia caught.

    Thurman record is about to be excellent.

    No doubt, Peterson gets sparked and early if Thurman comes out as aggressively as he did against Swift.

    Yes, it'll be the easiest fight of the three.

    Yeah Thurman should be able to beat Peterson, but it won't be that easy. Peterson is physically a big guy at 147 and still posses a good skill set. A win over peterson definitely enhances Keith's resume though.

    Yes, Peterson is a good win, no question. But Garcia and Porter are still better IMHO.

    Yeah I agree. He got his signature win over Garcia so his resume is speaking volumes right now, Porter and potentially Peterson only add to his already stellar resume imo. Good for One Love Thurman!

    I've always like Keith but going into this fight I had to back up my fighter, and he won, so I'm happy for keith. I think he's the best WW in the world right now with Pac number 2. Brook-Spence will determine number 3 imo.. what do you guys think?

    I think Pac is no longer that good, I'd definitely have Brook-Spence winner over the Pac-Khan winner. But on the other hand you can make a strong argument that Pac ought to be #1 on accomplishments.

    I go mostly by eye test though, and to me Brook and Spence look as good as Thurman (I thought they were better actually, but Thurman really impressed over the weekend). Brook did beat Porter more easily than Thurman for what it's worth, although neither Brook or Spence have a huge win like the Garcia win. So, tentatively:

    1. Thurman + Brook/Spence winner
    3. Pacquaio

    ... is how I see it.

    True, Garcia is a very good win but not get over board. Brook spence winner is number 1.
    Pac just have my sentimental vote.

    I think the Garcia win is better than any win on Brooks entire resume imo.
